I'll be writing about news from Lansing that impacts sportsmen (this means ladies as well), talking about things I find when I go overseas to visit my children, and adding your comments into the mix.
Because fishing really interests me, I will tend to concentrate in that area, but will digress on such topics as gun control which is in the news a lot
right now, some of the animal rights stuff trying to take some freedoms away from us, ecology, and of course your comments.

Family addition!

Many of you who know me, know our daughter Jennifer was having her first baby this month. Well, the little one finally made it's appearance at 8a.m. here in the UK. She delivered a healthy baby boy. Everyone; mom, baby and dad are doing fine. The four grandparents are fine as well. We'll all make a trip to the hospital later today after mom has had some rest. The little guy, Ewan James, decided to keep with Brit tradition and arrive on a typical British day the weather is, well lousy. It's cold, blowing, gray, and of course raining! Nothing new on those fronts. Thanks to all of you who have expressed an interest, written, phoned or emailed. They have all been most welcome and very much appreciated.

Two of our children live and work in Europe. Our daughter Jennifer lives in England and one of sons Matthew lives in Germany.
